By means of suitable mathematical and statistical techniques, a significant, proportionate % decrease of size in height, wt., and heart girth among the daughters of Bear Valley Ormsby Esther 518683 with increasing coeff. of inbreeding, has been demonstrated.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
